totally agree with reading more. text is easy to consume, easy to store, (somewhat) easy to verify (if sources are provided), and it keeps (if using dead trees for storage). ever since the pandemic i started reading more and must say i really like it
Some content lends itself well to written format. Lots of content does not.
absolutely agree. i just wanted to point out that not everything has to be a video
Hell yeah. Let's hear it for the readers. Let's hear it for footnotes. Let's hear it for references. Let's hear it for bibliographies. Let's hear it for the more in depth ideas that can be explored via text than video or audio.
What do you think keeps something deep being in the form of audio? I get that videos aren't great for research but audio can just be written word spoken so that people that can't read or don't enjoy reading can experience it. I read more than pretty much anyone that I know in my age range and I don't see myself as superior because of it and doing some comes across as frankly pomous and self important.
